几项研究已经确立了使用人体测量作为肌肉减少症指标的优势。然而，没有研究探讨肌肉减少症和颈围之间的关联。在这项横断面研究中，我们检查了90名需要长期护理的老年人的数据，以评估这种相关性，并根据2019年亚洲肌肉减少症工作组（AWGS）的定义，为有肌肉减少症风险的个体建立临界点。使用二项逻辑回归和受试者操作特征分析发现肌肉减少症和颈围之间存在显著相关性。与老年人肌肉减少症风险增加相关的颈围最佳临界值为女性32.8 cm，男性38.0 cm。鉴于颈围下降作为肌肉减少症的人体测量标志物的潜力，它在需要长期护理的老年人中筛查肌肉减少症具有临床应用价值。(c)爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Several studies have established the advantage of using anthropometric measurements as indicators of sarcopenia. Nevertheless, no study has explored the association between sarcopenia and neck circumference. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the data of 90 older adults requiring long-term care to evaluate this association and establish cut-off points for individuals at risk of sarcopenia as defined by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019. A significant association was found between sarcopenia and neck circumference using binomial logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses. The optimal cut-off value for neck circumference associated with increased risk for sarcopenia among older adults was 32.8 cm for females and 38.0 cm for males. Given the potential of declining neck circumference as an anthro-pometric marker of sarcopenia, it has clinical applications in screening for sarcopenia in older adults requir-ing long-term care.
